Now that the euphoria over the Texans destroying Dallas has subsided, it’s time to look ahead — not to Tampa Bay on Thursday but to Indianapolis on Sept. 12. Can you imagine what it’ll be like if the Texans play the Colts the way they played the Cowboys? Yes, it was just a preseason game, […]

What a start by the Texans defense, which was pathetic against the Saints last week. They stuffed the Cowboys on their first two series. On Dallas’ first possession, Zac Diles dropped Marion Barber for a 3-yard loss on a pitch. Then Mario Williams forced Tony Romo into a sack by blitzing cornerback Glover Quin. On […]

Not to be too negative about the Texans’ performance against the Saints, but I did find something they did well: kickoff returns! The Texans kicked the Saints’ butts on kickoff returns. They averaged 32.8 yards on six returns. The Saints averaged 21 yards on five returns. Take that Saints!!! Yipee-ki-yea!!! Well, let’s see, I think […]
